those are good, but I would do...

par or better and 60's... just because he has 70's, 80's, 90's already.
but the chip in was one I just got on Saturday... one of the few on that list I have... lol

but you'll undoubtedly have hundreds of those, and they really aren't that big of a deal.

First beer cart girls number....if you are young!

you have to have more than her number to get a ball in the trophy case... but good idea.

I hope it's not old... because I'm 29 too, but I can tell you for sure that it isn't young, and you should probably scratch the cart girl suggestion unless your wife is really into wacky stuff or real forgiving.

I've been playing since I was a little kid so I have none of these "sentimental" golf balls. Kind-of a cool idea though. Sounds fun. For the most part, I like your list. I'd probably go with these 9 if I were you.

  1. First par
  2. First birdie
  3. First eagle
  4. First 90s round
  5. First 80s round
  6. First 70s round
  7. First 60s round
  8. First 18-hole even par round
  9. First 18-hole under par round
I'd scratch the hole-in-one spot. Any accomplishment like that deserves it's own display case. A hole-is-one is not a very likely event, even for the best in the world. With dedicated practice and instruction, every one of the items on my list can happen. A hole-in-one however, requires a stroke of luck that you just can't practice to attain.

I'd even consider scratching the "First 90's round" and going with "First tournament win" or something like that. On the other hand, I'm sure you'll get enough ideas here for a pair of 9 ball display cases to make for an even 18, a good number in golf.

Very true. I eagled a par 5 on Saturday, then blew my tee shot into someone's backyard on the next hole. Made a triple. LOL

Serves you right for disrepecting golf with that eagle.

my friend lost his hole in one ball on the next hole. lol Luckily i managed to keep mine in my other bag, which isn't going anywhere.

    • Day 45 (27 Dec 25) - played at one of the sisters courses to my home course.  Solid session through the bag….of the 7 pars, 4 were up and down 1 putts (wedges were dialed in) from 6’ or less.  Off the tee - solid, irons were consistent even it a bit under on distances.  Course management was on - stayed the course even with a few offline recovery shots required…
    • Day 453 - 2025-12-27 Two things today for about 48 balls (I like to hit three or six balls at a time before taking a small break to pick them up): Right leg stays flexed a bit, internal rotation on the backswing. Kept my eyes looking at the ball and trusted that the backswing was fine.
    • Day 137 12-27 Worked on wider backswing today and tried to remain flowy. Recorded face on and down the line. Swing is looking better but I mentally felt off today, just frustrated. Tomorrow's a new day!
    • Day 8 - 2025-12-27 45 minutes of short game work at local muni, mostly putting work. Trying to get lots of reps in with consistent quality tempo.
    • I guess I'll stay at -16 for this year's challenge.  I never birdied holes 7, 13 (the 2 hardest holes) in 2025.  Also had a couple Eagle putts on the par 5's, but didn't convert either time.  Looking forward to 2026, though!
